Got rid of "powered by reddit code" footer

submitted by magnora7 from self.AntiExtremes

I modified home-reddit-src-reddit-r2-r2-templates-redditfooter.html.py which is the file that generates the html code for the footer. All the py code that generates html code is found in /home/reddit/src/reddit/r2/data/templates. So if we want to change things other than CSS, related to the HTML, I'd say that's the place to look.

There's a line that says "if site!="reddit.com" then run all this footer crap about "powered by reddit codde", and I simply changed it to "if site!=antiextremes.com" which effectively disabled it.

I had to sudo reddit-stop and reddit-start for these python changes to take effect.

Then I deleted some lines from that same file, that were associated with that stuff. Just trimming the fat.

Also, as a note, the .pyc (compiled python files) in that folder don't seem to affect anything, so we'll just ignore them I guess. I don't know why there's one for every .py file in there.

I think next I'll get rid of most things on the toolbar at the bottom.
